Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

“Yes! According to their testimonies, the three of them originally had no connection and did not know each other. It was only because Bai Mei set up a trap to lure their husbands into filming a videotape, and then used the videotape to threaten them for money, that the three men were driven to the brink of mental collapse... After the three housewives found out, they went together to confront Bai Mei,” Zhang Dayong said.

“Although all three housewives harmed Bai Mei, the knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and poisoning on Bai Mei’s body can be explained. However, according to the forensic examination, Bai Mei’s real fatal wound was a blunt force injury to the back of her head. All three housewives said they did not hit Bai Mei with a blunt object. If the three housewives are not lying, then that means there is still a real culprit who has not been found,” Li Zhongyi said.

After listening to their analysis, Li Fei wondered if he should remind them now.

At this moment, female police officer Mao Defen from the Major Crimes Unit walked over and said, "Brother Yong, Brother Li has been detained for 48 hours. We can send a lawyer to bail him out. Should we call Madam over?"

“Okay, I’ll call Madam right away,” Zhang Dayong replied.

"Inspector Cheung, isn't Madam Lei at the police station today?"

Li Fei asked curiously.

Since Ding Shouli was able to be released on bail today, Lei Xiaofeng should still be there.

"Madam is on holiday and should be at home today."

After Zhang Dayong finished speaking, he took out his phone and called Lei Xiaofeng.

It rang for about ten seconds before being answered.

"Don't you know I have a day off today? Can't you wait until I'm at work to talk about it?"

Lei Xiaofeng's impatient voice came through the phone; she was clearly still upset.

“Madam, Brother Li has been detained for 48 hours. You can go for bail today,” Zhang Dayong said.

"Didn't you hear me just now? I'm off today, and the Ding family's affairs have absolutely nothing to do with me. In short, whether you're happy to release him or not, whether someone bails him out or not, it's none of my business, understand?"

Beep!
After Lei Xiaofeng finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Zhang Dayong and Li Zhongyi exchanged a glance; it seemed Madam had a lot of opinions about Brother Li.

I still haven't forgiven him.

"Perhaps I should hire a lawyer to bail out Madam Lei's husband."

Li Fei said.

He has a relationship with Lei Xiaofeng, so he always feels sorry for Ding Shouli.

Therefore, Li Fei decided to do a good deed.

"Thank you, Officer Li."

They were just worried about who could bail Ding Shouli out, but with Li Fei speaking up, things became much easier.

Li Fei called Sandy, the lawyer, and asked her to come and bail someone out.

I've already worked with Sandy a few times, and Sandy doesn't dislike Li Fei as much as she used to.

Not long after, Sandy arrived at the police station in her newly bought car.

After several procedures, Ding Shouli was finally released.

"Thank you, Sandy. I'll treat you to dinner sometime," Li Fei said, shaking hands with Sandy.

"Don't mention it, I'm here to collect the money."

Sandy said with a smile.

Li Fei's lips twitched. There really was no need to be polite.

“Attorney Sandy, I will send the money to your law firm when I get back,” Ding Shouli said gratefully.

“No need to rush, you can send it over when you have time. Contact me if you need anything in the future,” Sandy said politely.

Li Fei was speechless. Sandy was very polite to everyone else, but it felt like she was always criticizing him!
"Thank you, lawyer."

"Alright, I've finished my work. I still have things to take care of at the law firm, so I'll be going now."

After Sandy finished speaking, she waved to Ding Shouli and Li Fei and left the police station.

She's a woman as free as the wind; her style of doing things is always straightforward and decisive.

Li Zhongyi whispered to Li Fei, "Isn't this lawyer Sandy the one who helped Lin Yueji win her case in court last time?"

"Yes, it's her." Li Fei said.

"I heard she's the hottest lawyer in Hong Kong right now. Lots of wealthy people are seeking her out for their cases," Li Zhongyi said. Since helping Lin Yueji win that seemingly impossible case, Sandy has become incredibly popular in the legal world. She's now a top lawyer in Hong Kong, and the line of people seeking her out stretches from Hong Kong Island to Central.

Moreover, that case became a classic case in the legal profession and was used as a reference by many countries.

Sandy, who is such a busy person, actually managed to take the time to bail out Ding Shouli, which is obviously because of Li Fei.

“Brother Li, you can’t leave Hong Kong for the time being. You have to come back and report every day. I know you are innocent. Don’t worry! We will catch the murderer as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing Zhang Dayong's words, Ding Shouli showed no joy. Instead, he looked worried and shook his head with a sigh.

"Why are you looking so gloomy?" Zhang Dayong asked.

"Does my wife know I can be released on bail?" Ding Shouli said.

Zhang Dayong looked troubled, unsure of what to say, since Madam was genuinely angry.

"Does she want a divorce?"

“That’s what Madam says, but she’ll be fine in the end,” Zhang Dayong comforted her.

"Hmph! I'm not as optimistic as you!" Ding Shouli said helplessly.

"By the way, Brother Li, it was Inspector Li who asked Sandy to bail you out today."

Seeing Ding Shouli's worried look, Zhang Dayong changed the subject.

"Li sir, thank you." Ding Shouli said sincerely, holding Li Fei's hand.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor. I'm fairly familiar with Madam Lei, so you can just call me Li Fei," Li Fei said.

"Brother Li, I have things to do at the police station, so I won't take you back."

Zhang Dayong said.

"No need, I'll take the bus myself..."

Li Fei suddenly interrupted, "Since I'm leaving anyway, why don't I drive you home?"

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?" Ding Shouli said.

“It’s on my way, and I’ll take you back. If there are outsiders around, Madam Lei might not be so angry,” Li Fei said.

"okay, thank you."

Ding Shouli thought about it and agreed.

Based on his understanding of Lei Xiaofeng, if there were no outsiders present and he went back alone, she would probably cause a huge scene.

With Li Fei, an outsider, present, Lei Xiaofeng would at least restrain her temper a bit.

"Then I'll get busy first."

Seeing Li Fei escort Brother Li back, Zhang Dayong breathed a sigh of relief.

"OK, bye."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Dayong, Li Fei drove Ding Shouli to his place.

The two went upstairs together.

Ding Shouli took out his key and opened the door.

Lei Xiaofeng was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Wife."

Upon seeing Lei Xiaofeng sitting there, Ding Shouli instinctively called out.

Lei Xiaofeng stared coldly at Ding Shouli. When she saw Li Fei behind him, her brows furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed.

He stood up, walked towards the room, and then came out carrying a large suitcase, saying to Ding Shouli, "Your luggage is all here."

"What do you mean?" Ding Shouli asked, frowning.

Lei Xiaofeng crossed her arms and faced Ding Shouli, asking, "Are you still planning to stay here?" (End of Chapter)
